Meta volumes directories, tmp/, background-ops/, etc..
undr .minio.sys are created when disks are formatted
but also when the cluster is started.
However using MakeVolBulk() is not appropriate in the
case of a user migrating from a version which does not
have .minio.sys/background-ops/. The reason is that
MakeVolBulk() exits early when an error is occured:
errVolumeExists in this case, which is expected since
some directories such as tmp/ already exist.
This commit will avoid use MakeVolBulk and use MakeVol
instead.
Also the PR will make each node creates meta volumes
in its local disks and stop relying on the first disk
since the first node could be offline.
instead perform a liveness check call to
verify if server is online and print relevant
errors.
Also introduce a StorageErr string error type
instead of errors.New() deprecate usage of
VerifyFileError, DeleteFileError for gob,
change in datastructure also requires bump in
storage REST version to v13.
Fixes#8811
When formatting a set validate if a host failure will likely lead to data loss.
While we don't know what config will be set in the future
evaluate to our best knowledge, assuming default settings.
Exponential backoff does not seem like a good fit for
this function since we can expect a few roundtrips on
initial startup.
This retry loop get slow pretty quickly with initial
wait being 1 second and each try being double the
wait until 30 seconds is reached.
Instead simply try 2 times per second.
Admin data usage info API returns the following
(Only FS & XL, for now)
- Number of buckets
- Number of objects
- The total size of objects
- Objects histogram
- Bucket sizes
This PR implements locking from a global entity into
a more localized set level entity, allowing for locks
to be held only on the resources which are writing
to a collection of disks rather than a global level.
In this process this PR also removes the top-level
limit of 32 nodes to an unlimited number of nodes. This
is a precursor change before bring in bucket expansion.
If it does happen that we have a lot files in '.minio.sys/tmp',
minio startup might block deleting this folder. Rename and
delete in background instead to allow Minio to start serving
requests.
This refactor brings a change which allows
targets to be added in a cleaner way and also
audit is now moved out.
This PR also simplifies logger dependency for auditing
This commit will print connection failures to other disks in other nodes
after 5 retries. It is useful for users to understand why the
distribued cluster fails to boot up.
Modified the LogIf function to log only if the error passed
is not on the ignored errors list.
Currently, only disk not found error is added to the list.
Added a new function in logger package called LogAlwaysIf,
which will print on any error.
Fixes#5997
Since we do not re-use storageDisks after moving
the connections to object layer we should close them
appropriately otherwise we have a lot of connection
leaks and these can compound as the time goes by.
This PR also refactors the initialization code to
re-use storageDisks for given set of endpoints until
we have confirmed a valid reference format.
Migration regression got introduced in 9083bc152e
adding more unit tests to catch this scenario, we need to fix this by
re-writing the formats after the migration to 'V3'.
This bug only happens when a user is migrating directly from V1 to V3,
not from V1 to V2 and V2 to V3.
Added additional unit tests to cover these situations as well.
Fixes#5667
This PR implements an object layer which
combines input erasure sets of XL layers
into a unified namespace.
This object layer extends the existing
erasure coded implementation, it is assumed
in this design that providing > 16 disks is
a static configuration as well i.e if you started
the setup with 32 disks with 4 sets 8 disks per
pack then you would need to provide 4 sets always.
Some design details and restrictions:
- Objects are distributed using consistent ordering
to a unique erasure coded layer.
- Each pack has its own dsync so locks are synchronized
properly at pack (erasure layer).
- Each pack still has a maximum of 16 disks
requirement, you can start with multiple
such sets statically.
- Static sets set of disks and cannot be
changed, there is no elastic expansion allowed.
- Static sets set of disks and cannot be
changed, there is no elastic removal allowed.
- ListObjects() across sets can be noticeably
slower since List happens on all servers,
and is merged at this sets layer.

This PR brings semver capabilities in our RPC layer to
ensure that we can upgrade the servers in rolling fashion
while keeping I/O in progress. This is only a framework change
the functionality remains the same as such and we do not
have any special API changes for now. But in future when
we bring in API changes we will be able to upgrade servers
without a downtime.
Additional change in this PR is to not abort when serverVersions
mismatch in a distributed cluster, instead wait for the quorum
treat the situation as if the server is down. This allows
for administrator to properly upgrade all the servers in the cluster.
Fixes#5393
This fix removes logrus package dependency and refactors the console
logging as the only logging mechanism by removing file logging support.
It rearranges the log message format and adds stack trace information
whenever trace information is not available in the error structure.
It also adds `--json` flag support for server logging.
When minio server is started with `--json` flag, all log messages are
displayed in json format, with no start-up and informational log
messages.
Fixes#5265#5220#5197
When servers are started simultaneously across multiple
nodes or simulating a local setup, it can happen such
that one of the servers in setup reaches a following
situation where it observes
- Some servers are formatted
- Some servers are unformatted
- Some servers are offline
Current state machine doesn't handle this correctly, to fix
this situation where we have unformatted, formatted and
disks offline we do not decisively know the course of
action. So we wait for the offline disks to change their state.
Once the offline disks change their state to either one of these
states we can decisively move forward.
- nil (formatted disk)
- errUnformattedDisk
- Or any other error such as errCorruptedDisk.
Fixes#4903
Implement an offline mode for remote storage to cache the
offline status of a node in order to prevent network calls
that are bound to fail. After a time interval an attempt
will be made to restore the connection and mark the node
as online if successful.
Fixes#4183
Current state-machine didn't honor a situation
which can arise when there is a combination of
- formatted
- unformatted
- corrupted
disks - this combination invariably goes into a
mode where all servers are waiting perpetually
forever thinking we will get quorum in future.
At this point there is a distant possibility of
ever getting a quorum since we don't even have
quorum number of disks offline.
We should exit and print a proper message per disk
to indicate what went wrong and what was detected
by the server.
Refer #4477
This patch fixes below
* Previously fatalIf() never writes log other than first logging target.
* quiet flag is not honored to show progress messages other than startup messages.
* Removes console package usage for progress messages.
Currently the auth rpc client defaults to to a maximum
cap of 30seconds timeout. Make this to be configurable
by the caller of authRPCClient during initialization, if no
such config is provided then default to 30 seconds.
This patch uses a technique where in a retryable storage
before object layer initialization has a higher delay
and waits for longer period upto 4 times with time unit
of seconds.
And uses another set of configuration after the disks
have been formatted, i.e use a lower retry backoff rate
and retrying only once per 5 millisecond.
Network IO error count is reduced to a lower value i.e 256
before we reject the disk completely. This is done so that
combination of retry logic and total error count roughly
come to around 2.5secs which is when we basically take the
disk offline completely.
NOTE: This patch doesn't fix the issue of what if the disk
is completely dead and comes back again after the initialization.
Such a mutating state requires a change in our startup sequence
which will be done subsequently. This is an interim fix to alleviate
users from these issues.
There was an error in how we validated disk formats,
if one of the disk was formatted and was formatted with
FS would cause confusion and object layer would never
initialize essentially go into an infinite loop.
Validate pre-emptively and also check for FS format
properly.
This change brings in changes at multiple places
- Reuse buffers at almost all locations ranging
from rpc, fs, xl, checksum etc.
- Change caching behavior to disable itself
under low memory conditions i.e < 8GB of RAM.
- Only objects cached are of size 1/10th the size
of the cache for example if 4GB is the cache size
the maximum object size which will be cached
is going to be 400MB. This change is an
optimization to cache more objects rather
than few larger objects.
- If object cache is enabled default GC
percent has been reduced to 20% in lieu
with newly found behavior of GC. If the cache
utilization reaches 75% of the maximum value
GC percent is reduced to 10% to make GC
more aggressive.
- Do not use *bytes.Buffer* due to its growth
requirements. For every allocation *bytes.Buffer*
allocates an additional buffer for its internal
purposes. This is undesirable for us, so
implemented a new cappedWriter which is capped to a
desired size, beyond this all writes rejected.
Possible fix for #3403.
This is needed to validate if the `format.json` indeed exists
when a fresh node is brought online.
This wrapped implementation also connects to the remote node
by attempting a re-login. Subsequently after a successful
connect `format.json` is validated as well.
Fixes#3207
Ref #3229
After review with @abperiasamy we decided to remove all the unnecessary options
- MINIO_BROWSER (Implemented as a security feature but now deemed obsolete
since even if blocking access to MINIO_BROWSER, s3 API port is open)
- MINIO_CACHE_EXPIRY (Defaults to 72h)
- MINIO_MAXCONN (No one used this option and we don't test this)
- MINIO_ENABLE_FSMETA (Enable FSMETA all the time)
Remove --ignore-disks option - this option was implemented when XL layer
would initialize the backend disks and heal them automatically to disallow
XL accidentally using the root partition itself this option was introduced.
This behavior has been changed XL no longer automatically initializes
`format.json` a HEAL is controlled activity, so ignore-disks is not
useful anymore. This change also addresses the problems of our documentation
going forward and keeps things simple. This patch brings in reduction of
options and defaulting them to a valid known inputs. This patch also
serves as a guideline of limiting many ways to do the same thing.
For command line arguments we are currently following
- <node-1>:/path ... <node-n>:/path
This patch changes this to
- http://<node-1>/path ... http://<node-n>/path
- Servers do not exit for invalid credentials instead they print and wait.
- Servers do not exit for version mismatch instead they print and wait.
- Servers do not exit for time differences between nodes they print and wait.
These messages based on our prep stage during XL
and prints more informative message regarding
drive information.
This change also does a much needed refactoring.
* Add unit-tests for formatting disks during initialization
- Fixed corresponding code at places where it was deviating from the
tabular spec.
* Added more test cases and simplified algo
... based on feedback from ``go test -coverprofile``.
- Fix distributed branch to be able to run FS version.
- Fix distributed branch to be able to run XL local disks.
- Ignore initialization failures of notification and bucket
policies, the codepath should load whatever is possible.
Initialization when disk was down the network disk
reported an incorrect error rather than errDiskNotFound.
This resulted in incorrect error handling during
prepInitStorage() stage.
Fixes#2577
